“Are you sure that this is all you will require for your trip Lady Irene?”
“Yeah, you have procured everything I asked for, and I have all the other personal items I will need. Thank you again for your flawless work Clara.” Marcus said to his head maid.
He then packed away the last of the things he would be needing for his trip into his item box and headed to the front door with Clara in tow.
When he arrived, waiting there for him was Roxene, Lilia, and her beast companions, Aurelia and Zareen who were raring to go.
“Do you have everything ready, Lilia?”
Nodding her head and the anticipation clear on her face, Lilia said, “Yes, I already triple checked my supplies and equipment. Now let us hurry up and go.”
Smiling, Marcus was happy to see his little sister’s enthusiasm, and turned towards Clara and told her to get the carriage ready.
“I will see all of you again later. It may be up to a month, but I should be back by then.” Marcus said, as he waved goodbye to those who had come to see him off..
After that, Clara who was driving the carriage, cracked the reigns and Blitz began trotting down the path and out of the estate.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSoon they made it to the castle where their group was going to be meeting up.
‘Looks like everyone is here.’ He thought as he looked out at everyone that had gathered in one of the castle’s courtyards.
Getting out of the carriage, Marcus and Lilia along with their beast companions went over to everyone else.
Except as they approached there was an unfamiliar woman with them who had long white and red hair.
“It is good to see everyone again. Oh, and who might this be?” Marcus said, while holding out his arm in the direction of this mysterious woman.
Moving in front of everyone, surprisingly it was James who walked up to answer Marcus’ question.
“Ah that is right, this is the first time you have seen her in this form. You have actually met once before. This is my companion, Fallon. She recently evolved into a legendary grade beast and learned how to take human form.”
Looking at the beautiful woman who was standing just behind James and waving, Marcus remembered Fallon, but not like this.
Last time he had seen her she was a huge bird that was over fifteen feet tall, and in no way resembled a person.
Still, this was not the first time he had seen a beast take human form, but they had all been mythic grade and at an incredibly high level, so he was a bit surprised to see Fallon’s transformation.
“Well, I suppose that it is a good thing since otherwise she would have had a very hard time fitting through some of the tight spaces where we are going. Even Eirwen and Blitz are going to have a tough time at their size.”
With that little confusion wrapped, up all of them did one last check on all of their supplies to make sure they had every that they would need.
“Okay, so I have about three weeks of food stored within my item box, while everyone else has at least two weeks of personal rations on them?” Marcus asked, wanting to make sure they had enough for everyone to eat.
He was the only one that could function perfectly fine without eating and making sure they had enough while being stuck far underground was very important.
Of course, they had also packed away a massive amount of water between all of them and their storages were filled to the brim with necessities.
Once all of their last checks were done, it was finally time to head out.
In rare fashion they had gotten permission to fly out of the city from the castle. even though the skies were normally off limits to prevent confusion and panic in the city.
Nevertheless, having two royal children going on this trip, it was easy enough to get permission for them to take to the air even within the capital.
“Is everyone ready?” James said once everyone had mounted their rides.
For James he was naturally riding on the back of Fallon who had reverted to her beast form, and along with him was Quillon.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen Mrazivý had Lyra and Lilia on the back of her beast companion Eirwen.
Finally, Marcus who had taken his form as a caladrius, had Blitz, Roxene, Aurelia, and Zareen on his back.
Flapping his wings and getting a running start, Marcus quickly began to gain altitude and headed up into the sky.
Following after him, Mrazivý on Eirwen, and James on Fallon, flew up as well and got on either side of Marcus.
As they flew over the city, thousands of people saw the rare sight of beasts flying.
Many looked up and gawked as they had never seen such large flying beasts.
However, what was even more shocking was that there were a number of people and even other beasts on their backs.
“Wait I see blue hair. Do you think they are part of the royal family?”
“I think that is Prince James. He is famous for his flying beast and being the leader of the sky knights.”
“Yeah, but there is another person with the royal family’s vibrant blue hair. Also, who are the other people riding by the royals?”
The entire city went abuzz from the flight of their group over the city, and speculation of who was with and why two members of the royal family were suddenly leaving from the capital spread like wildfire.
Eventually though, the excitement they wiped up as they flew over the massive capital city began to die down, as they flew out of its air space and into the distance.
Quickly hours went by as they made there way to their destination, and when the sun was beginning to dip into evening, Marcus spotted the long ravine that stretched on for miles.
